    "Mista' Fisha' caught me drinkin a caaan of Fostehs in the seeeerf clab.
    Owh naaw mate!
    "

    And

    "Aww criiiikey!! Looook at the teeth on this little beauuuty!! You're alright lav... there we go."

    Uh, not sure what exactly you're looking for tbh... I've had no real preconceptions of any Australians I've ever met.

    they're grand but wouldn't trust em near my wallet,


    bunch o' convicts.....:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    In my (probably limited) experience : more or less the same as us only happier and more pro-active... which I'm guessing is due to this "sunshine" malarky that I've seen in those soaps you've got. Looks nice.

    And also,

    bunch o' convicts...:D

    Hehe, classic..okay....one thing....I have NEVER seen anyone but my stepfather drink Fosters.....and I have had a number of drinking years under my belt!!! ;)

    Grimes please explain......" They drink fosters. Say g'day and may'e . And are wrong"

    As for being convicts.....well, a lot of us have a LOT of Irish blood, my surname is Hickey......gives me a lot of grief at times, but I just blame it 'on bein Irish'

    lol

    :-)

    We do get a lot of sun, although Summer Bay and Erinsborough seem to get a hell of a lot more than most of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,008 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3


    Seem pretty cool to me.

    And like myself, they also seem to have the travel bug. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    having been born in adelaide, i would say that aussies are sexy, intelligent, handsome, witty, honourable, understanding, and adorable.

    although, that may just be me.

    in general australians are much like the irish, but without the begrudging accent. and there is no part of australia that can compare with kerry.

    thank god.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    did you hear about the aussie who took a year out of life.

    the went to university for a year....

    er, no.

    its a joke based on the fact that every other australian seems to take a year out so the can become a bartender in central london or dublin.

    im not sure exactly it qualifies you for, but they seem to enjoy the experience.

    me personally, im looking at moving back to austrlia at some stage after an absence of, oh, many many years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 307 ✭✭SexeeAussie


    Maybe if you learn to spell Australia you will be in with a chance....MAAAATE!

    And maybe you can convince a mutual friend of ours to come with ya!!!

    Do not bag out Skippy or I may get mad!!! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    I would dream of it. Who could have a problem with a talking kangaroo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 307 ✭✭SexeeAussie


    Skippy was certainly smarter than Lassie!

    that maybe so, but there isnt a hope in hell he's smarter than Flipper...

    anyway, australians.. a great bunch of lads..

    They're drunken muppets. More so then the Irish, I've seen them in walkabout in the uk and they're rude, and pissed. I've also experienced the back packers club in London, Had to meet some one there and the buses started pulling up with pissed up aussies falling out the door and puking on the path.

    This was 2pm on a sunday afternoon.

    To sum up, I hate most of the ones I've met.

    Lump...John.....

    'as bad'??

    Have you ever seen Irish people on holiday in Aus??? I am pretty sure they are about as loud and as drunk and as obnoxious as Aussies are in Ireland....

    although, the Irish may be WORSE here as the Euro can buy a hell of a lot more grog than the Aussie Dollar can!!!!!!!


    ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    I'm in the UK, mayb it's the concentration of them. TBH, I'm not slagging all of the Aussies, just all the ones I have experienced.

    John


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 307 ✭✭SexeeAussie


    Yeh, well I hear that on any given day in London there are at least 100,000 Aussies there!! But, I can bet that there would be a massive group of Irish people in Bondi area in Sydney as well....


    We aren't all pathetic drunks (well, I am sure that there are some sober people here........... ;) )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    Well I love the country


    There as loud as the Irish,
    They drink just as much as the Irish if not more!!
    They are definately lazier than the Irish, when it comes to getting a career,education and just plain reality...
    Some of the things I didn't like when I was there

    1. attitude is not nice

    2.Americanised to the extreme

    3. Sometimes a bit Narrowminded and don't think outside of Oz!

    4. Never cross and betray An aussie, apparntley I was told by an Aussie if you do they will never forgive you!

    5. Slang is pathetic, everthing to butter is shortned, half the time they intentionally speak with an American accent. Moaning is unbelievable. waaaww ryyyytteee, griiikinggg, Blooooooody heeeeelll, damm, it gets tiresome.

    Well I was there too, I have a sister there! words like conversation is translated to convo, there is tonnes of words Which i can get emailed to me. I can't remember them right now.




    Nothing else to complain about:)
    They are afterall one of the best partygoers around

    I have only ever dealt with some UK Aussies on the phone. They have come off to me as being rude and abrupt even more rude than the Scottish. Now that takes some beating.

    I found them really obnoxious on the whole when I was working there.. I met some lovely Ozzies, but the majority I met were really up themselves & thought Ozzies were the supreme being..

    Me & my boyfriend got argued with about irish facts too which was really ridiculous. One guy argued about what a gaelic football looked like & another argued about how to pronounce irish names (although that guy was from New Zealand). He had 3 children with "Irish" names, none of which I ever heard before & I went to all irish schools. He then proceeded to tell me how to pronounce the Uileann Pipes. No matter how many times I told him the correct pronounciation, he argued with me.... aarrrgghhh...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6 uglyfish3


    they pretty cool i think, and hell they know how to party, altho the whole fosters thing i dont get, no aussies drink it, i think it like the leprechauns here, as some yanks think they give us gold at christmas, but that a whole new chit chat

    but put irish,scottish swedes and aussies in a room, with no drink and they will still walk out drunk and having loadsa craic.....we all know how to have a good time,travel and make the most of everything


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 307 ✭✭SexeeAussie

    There is method to my madness there...it's do with the ee.....far too cryptic for you lot I am sure! ;)

    Hmmmm, wouldn't like to disclose that here, may make all the other lads jealous! :p:p:p:p

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Some are cool, others are dickheads, most fall somewhere in between.

    The Aussie blokes really look after themselves, hardly a beer belly in sight,but it can make them a bit vain and up themselves.

    They DO NOT get sarcasm. Or ANY of my humour,and I consider myself a pretty funny kind of guy.

    The Aussie ladies, on the other hand, hot in the main. And very laid back.

    Most of them are NOT racist like this.
